After coming back, Lin Datou's family went to his grandparents, that is, Lin Dameng's grandparents, to pay New Year's greetings, and Feng asked the eldest daughter-in-law to go with the cuckoo, "This is the first day of the new year, there must be many people in their family." I'm not going to be an eyesore. Sister-in-law Lin, take the cuckoo with you. After a few days, I will go to see Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin again. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law thought about it and agreed.

The Lin family is a big family, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are very old, and today is naturally full of children and grandchildren, and it is not unreasonable for the Feng family to worry.

The cuckoo was afraid that Huang Que'er would be bored at home alone, so she made a little trick and had to follow her, so she gave up.

Let's go godmother!

At that moment, Lin Datou was carrying Lin Chun on his back, and his daughter-in-law was holding the cuckoo, each with a big burden on her arm - it was a New Year's gift, and he walked to the village on the snowy path.

The yellow finch walked next to the big-headed daughter-in-law, making the cuckoo laugh from time to time; Lin Chun is "cuckoo cuckoo" does not leave his mouth; As for Qiusheng and Xiasheng, they have disappeared early.

Although there are only about 100 households in Quanshui Village, because each family has a yard, everyone is not crowded together, so the scope of the village is quite large.

It was the first time for the cuckoo to walk into the depths of the ancient village, and grandma's house could only be regarded as a periphery.

When she saw the old-fashioned wooden houses or stone walls, she couldn't say she liked it.

The reason why Quanshui Village is called Quanshui Village is because there are many streams. After three turns and two turns, a black stream more than one meter wide appeared in the White Snow World. The stream is murmuring, and there are two long bluestone slabs side by side. People have hit the above, and they are very stable.

In a few moments, they had crossed three or four of these streams.

When the cuckoo was getting dizzy, he finally heard Aunt Lin say that the front was the back garden of the godmother's house, surrounded by a stone wall.

They went around to the front, heard the sound of "booming" water, and saw a river two feet wide.

Walking upstream along the river ridge, there are two stone arch bridges on the river less than half a mile apart. Against the backdrop of snow, a dark bridge hole is exposed, and the river below is rushing and rushing. In winter, there is little water, and the large rocks in the riverbed are exposed, and the water crashes on it, making a roaring sound.

There are people on both sides of the river, and there is a stone step leading to the bottom of the river ridge in front of every house, which is used for laundry, rice washing and vegetable washing; The branches of the large trees by the river were covered with snow and turned into silver branches.

Just looking around, they turned into the courtyard gate on the left, and everyone was surrounded by a burst of noise, sandwiched by the sound of the little baby shouting uncle and aunt to pay New Year's greetings.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, why did you come?"

"Come in, grandpa asked just now."

"Yo, Chun'er is wearing new clothes!"

"It's ...... Cuckoo? Ha Luha, sister-in-law, your goddaughter is here to pay New Year's greetings! ”

……

The cuckoo's eyes and ears are not enough, the yard in front of her, the house, the furniture she sees after entering the house, and the big family of the four generations all make her feel that she has come to the "wealthy nobles" of Quanshui Village!

This is not a joke, but a real giant.

Whether it is a house or a furnishing home, it is extremely valuable, comparable to the real rich, or even surpasses them.

But why do you want to say that it is a wealthy family in Quanshui Village?

This is because compared with the mansions in the city, the Lin family does not have that kind of magnificent and wealthy atmosphere, but is full of primitive and simple taste, which is very harmonious with this ancient village in the deep mountains.

As for the "nobility", it is the position given to them by the cuckoo.

In ancient times, the real aristocratic family should be a scholarly family, with poetry and books; However, Lin Dameng's family is a folk craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship, and he also inherits his family with unique skills, and Du Juan feels that they are "folk nobles".

Let's talk about the house first: in the wide yard, behind two ancient trees hugged by two people, there are eight upper rooms with two floors; The wall skirt is made of large blue-gray stone slabs, which are carved with carvings with strong folk customs, flowers, birds, insects and beasts; Above is a wooden building, except that the roof is covered by snow and cannot be seen clearly, the railing and window lattices are also carved and carved, and the style is extraordinary; The thing is a side room, and it is just as neat.

Sure enough, in Quanshui Village, carpenters and stonemasons are popular!

After entering the house, those light-colored logs swallowed saliva - all of them were high-quality goods, especially nanmu.

Poor cuckoo felt that she was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, she had never seen so many simple and natural furniture in her previous life, so simple and natural, finely carved, and she knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.

There are no paintings hanging above the main hall, and a large stone carving is embedded in the wall, on which the landscape figures are lifelike; The chairs on the left and right sides of the central table are covered with leopard skins.

In addition, the other tables and chairs in the hall are all simple and natural, with irregular coffee tables and low stools carved by roots, and even the tea tray is not square or round, but carved from the cross-section of the roots, with natural texture and log color; To the east is an arhat bed with two tiger skins on top......

The cuckoo can't stand it: this pastoral life is too classy!

Lin Datou didn't brag at the beginning, his three sons really wanted to learn carpenter, stonemason and hunter, and life was certain. Of course, the premise is that the craftsmanship is exquisite.

The cuckoo looked around, and the strange look made everyone laugh.

Dameng's daughter-in-law teased her: "Cuckoo, the first time you come back to your mother's house, it's strange, right?" ”

Only then did Du Juan pay attention to everyone: the man was mainly Grandpa Lin, sitting on a table on the west side of the hall drinking tea and talking, and Ren Sanhe was also present, looking at her; The daughters-in-law gathered in front of the Luohan bed in the east to roast the fire around the brazier, Grandma Lin sat on the bed, and the little babies were all monkeys frolicking in the bed.

The big-headed daughter-in-law put the cuckoo on it and played with the other babies.

The friendship between Jiu'er and Lin Chun is very good now.

Like a little master, he said to Lin Chun and Du Juan: "Chun'er, Du Juan, kowtow to the grandfather and grandmother, and ask for red envelopes." ”

Lin Datou was busy leading his son to kowtow to his grandparents.

After Lin Chun kowtowed and took the red envelope, he immediately taught the cuckoo to kowtow too. I was afraid that she wouldn't, so I tried my best to demonstrate a few times and let her follow her.

is so festive and lively, this is the New Year in the countryside!

The cuckoo was so overjoyed that he simply forgot his mental age, lay on the Luohan bed very doggedly, and kowtowed to Grandma Lin; He hugged his fist to Grandpa Lin in the air, made a "Wishing you prosperity" action, and smiled so brightly!

Just at the old man's ninety years old, kowtowing is not what it should be.

But she has only been more than nine months and will not leave, which caused an uproar. Everyone gathered around as if they were watching a trick, touching, hugging and teasing her rarely, laughing non-stop.

Grandma Lin smiled serenely, turned around and opened a dark red treasure chest beside her, took out a golden longevity lock, and slowly helped her put it on her neck.

The golden lock fell on his chest, and the cuckoo felt heavy.

She picked it up and looked at it, wondering if this was too valuable.

Seeing that everyone looked at her playfully, to see what she was going to do. She thought it would be appropriate to refuse, so she looked around.

Suddenly, I saw a root carving beside Grandma Lin, which was a buffalo. Because of the carving, one of the hind legs of the ox is a little crooked, as if one foot has stepped into the mud and is trying to pull it up.

She hurriedly took the golden lock off her head, returned it to Grandma Lin, and reached out to bring the root carving, hugged it to her chest, and then looked at the old man with a smile, as if to say, "I want this, okay?" "It looks like he's waiting for a decision.

Cuckoo admits that he is shallow-eyed.

That carving is really a work of art, and it is worth more than a gold lock in the previous life.

But it shouldn't be, right?

The Lin family is full of wooden furniture and ornaments, and even a small wooden chair is unique; Jiu'er even took out a lot of wooden toys for Lin Chun to play with, and the cuckoo drooled when he saw it.

Dameng's daughter-in-law laughed and said, "She doesn't want a golden lock, she wants this?" ”

Over there, Grandpa Lin slapped the table and said loudly, "Okay!" It was when I was young that I made this Luohan bed, and I made a coffee table with the big root of the fragrant nan, and there was a thin root below that I looked a little like a cow, so I used some effort to make it for Dameng's father to play. ”

Actually an antique? There is also a history.

The cuckoo hurriedly put the cow down, embarrassed to ask for it again.
